But the Nevin/Minasian defenders told me our season was bad because of injuries and we're the most cursed/snakebit team (because of injuries) in history.

When can we draft the El Segundo kids?

But if they get a taste of the postseason then why would they want to come back here next year, especially if Sho is gone?

Beat writers are not supposed to be fans of a team. Amazing how many people don't get this.

Taking his word for it on "fatigue" and not having some kind of test (MRI) on him and then letting him pitch is a pretty bad look for the coaching and medical staff.

With all due respect, this sentence has been written here every year since 2014.

Wow, you managed to be both racist and stupid (using the "r" word in 2023?) in the span of four lines. You're either a 15 year-old gamer or a MAGA douche.

Hint: she's not the one from Speed

Jesus, what more can he do to get us from 82 to 90, that he already hasn't done? It's the other guys that need to either stay healthy or play better.

That's a lot to assume from 53 at-bats this season. You're putting him up there with Matt Olson, Jose Ramirez and Cody Bellinger.

Has there ever been a case in baseball history where a team traded away a player for two months, getting a "haul" in return, and then re-signed said player in the offseason? I'm sure it's happened, but I couldn't think of an occasion where it did. It's why I don't think you are getting a "haul" (although I guess it depends on what you mean by "haul") when opposing GMs understand it's a 2-month rental, and no guarantee beyond that.

Season over

First time "vis a vis" has been used on this board? Props.

88 wins in 1985 was a good team. And in 1995. Probably even in 2005. With so many teams tanking now, if you win 88 games, you have to look at the opponents to provide context to the season. If the Angels get 10 wins against Oakland and let's say 4 against KC, then 14 out of the 88 wins (16 percent) would be against teams not trying to be competitive. I think the sign of a good team in 2023 is whether or not you make the playoffs, and how you do once you get there, especially with so many teams eligible. And yes, I realize the AL Central winner may get in with 84 wins, but nobody is going to consider that team a contender. So we won't really know if they are a good team until the season ends.

Always the media's fault with the small-minded people. And if the media ignored Shohei, you'd complain about that too. "Aaron Judge/Mookie Betts/Yankee/Dodger bias" or some BS.

Yep. I remember Eppler's first year. People here calling him "Eppy" like they were his best friend and developing man crushes on him. So weird.

A "good team playing bad" for 30 games is not a good team.

Burt Ward > Sela Ward > Taylor Ward

With all respect, you've posted this in a lot of threads but there's nothing to back it up. Especially the first four words.

He didn't say that

Actually, what Rendon did is pretty much Christianity in 2023.

Does Walsh have a history of concussions? That's what I thought of immediately (note: I'm not a doctor and am not making a definitive medical analysis).

Can't believe the AngelsWin account actually posted this. Elon fanboys are the weirdest.

Sir this is a Wendy's

Here in Atlanta we have OHoppes all over the place. I enjoy their banana pancakes.
